Watch a 135i with upgraded turbos easily pull away from a C5 Corvette with a built LS6 V8

Great run here showing an E82 135i with upgraded turbos, full bolt ons, Alpina trans flash software for the 6-speed automatic transmission, meth injection, and a tune from Bren Tuning against a C5 vette with a built LS6 V8. The 135i makes easy work of the C5 from a roll that is stated to have a built motor although what it is putting out is not reavealed. A built LS6 V8 without any forced induction won't have many advantages other than that of longevity over a stock LS6 with the same modifications.

To be noted, this C5 is not a Z06 but is said to have an LS6 V8 which would have to be swapped in. Some controversy on the Vette's mod list and it certainly should be questioned.

Thats incorrect the difference in weight from a FRC (3174 lbs)to a Z06 (3130 lbs) is no where near 250 lbs. The difference being the Titanium Exhaust and Magnesium wheels for the Z06. From a standard coupe (3230) to a FRC the weight difference is a bit greater. Auto trans car weighed slightly more as do Verts but since the FRC or Z06 came with autos or in Vert styles I didnt include those weights.

Folks tend to swap those heads & intake onto LS1 motors for more power. Port them and they make sick power vs say the LS1 heads/intake.

the swap would be dumb because you can swap heads, intake, and cams like I was saying and be on a level field instead of swapping a motor....as far as the block, I have heard quite a bit of the opposite...because of the windows in the casting, it loses strength and makes re-sleeving it an issue. it isn't weak by any means, but in terms of building it, the ls1 has an advantage
